SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
A Mob After the Assailants of Jen.
ME Bowman.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 2S.-Turner
and Patterson. the negro assailants of
Jennie Bowman, were brought back
from Frankfort yesterday and jailed
here. Tonight there is a large crowd
on the square where the jail is located,
and it is asserted on all sides that the
men will be taken out and hung before
morning. The condition of Jennie
| Bowman, the unfortunate victim is
much worse tonight, and there is
hardly a hope for her recovery. This
morning her temperature rose alarm
ingly, and she became wildly delirious.
At 2 As the mob organized at Fourth
and Main. and after several speeches
marched toward the jail. The crowd
is about 500, and are armed with
sledge hammers. They seemed de-
termined, and this time they seem to
have leaders. They have not reached
the Jail yet.
3 "A. M.-The mob moved on to the
Jail again. They reached the guard
line, where a scrimmage took place,
and several shots we're fired, but no
one was hurt. The mob then started
toward the armory, three squares dis
tant. No danger is now ~apprehended.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April 29.-Every-
thing is quiet about the Jail this morn
ing, though the talk wei town is that
another and more determined effort
will be made to lynch the negroes to-
night. Among those arrested last
night, and taken to the station-house,
were John Letterle and Allen Nc
Donald. The former was a member
of the last Kentucky Legislature, and
the latter is a leader OF the association
organized to promote purity in the
city government.
This morning Jennie Bowman is
still sinking. She is worse than at any
time yet, and may die any moment.
The feeling is that her death will pre-
cipitate trouble. The answer o. the
Governor to a call for aid from the
militia has been received, and several
companies have been ordered to guard
the Jail.
An agreed signal Of eleven taps by
the fire department bells, in case of an
attack upon the Jail, has just been
rung.
1890 P. M.-Great crowds of people
are pressing towards the jail. The
militia are stationed around the build.
ing. The police and mob are now
fighting.
Serious alarm was created through
out the city shortly after II noon to-
day, by reason of the sounding of the
riot alarm on the fire bells, as it was
supposed a riot vas in progress. A
great crowd rushed toward the jai.
where the troops are on guard. 1t was
afterwards learned that the alarm was
sounded for the assembling of the
local troops at their armories.
